Hockey loses to American football, again, on WXYT, the Red Wings flagship radio station.
Saturday night the Red Wings hosted the Buffalo Sabres. Also, four NFL teams played two American football playoff games.
The Wings flagship radio station, WXYT, chose to broadcast the American football games instead of the Red Wings game.
So here are some of my comments I sent via WXYT's instant feedback section on its website.
I wish I could hear the Red Wings game.
It sure wold be nice, if on the Red Wings flagship station, I could hear the Wings game. What a concept, eh?
There are four WXYT streams on iTunes and while I appreciate that they're there, two are silent and the other two are broadcasting an American football game, which is just lame.
Your banner is wrong. It states "Detroit sports talk all day." Yet the only feed I can hear here is a non-Lions American football game. That's hardly representative of Detroit sports.
On the frontpage in the Podcast section there's not one Red Wings download, not one Tigers download, and only one Lions download. Hardly Detroit sports talk. You guys should talk more about the Wings and maybe I'd come back here more.
No videos in that section feature a Detroit team and none are hockey related.
At least 97.1 is hosting a Red Wings viewing party. Too bad it's not tonight game. Oh that's right 97.1 doesn't broadcast a Wings game when American football game is playing.
Oh and kudos, at least two of three top headlines are Detroit related. Still none for Wings, which is just lame.
A link to the Red Wings schedule too. Maybe 97.1 should have checked that. The Wings are playing now, and I can't hear the game on 97.1, the Red Wings flagship radio station.
Hey check out the Coming Up section. The Red Wings are playing - 01/10/2009 06:40 PM ET. That's nearly three hours ago. I guess 97.1 broadcast people didn't get the message.
